Advent Organ Reflections

Wednesday, December 4 | 7:00 p.m. | Sanctuary
 
Join organist Zach Busch on Wednesday, December 4, for Advent Organ Reflections. In the darkened sanctuary, in a tapestry of starlight, organ music that illustrates the wonder and mystery of the season will mingle with familiar Advent and Christmas hymn tunes. Bring a blanket and pillow to lay on the floor as you listen. All ages welcome.

Advent: What Can't Wait?

During Advent we dedicate the four Sundays before Christmas as a time to focus on the birth of Jesus. It is a season of waiting. It is a time we reflect on what can be birthed with new life. However, we also know that while we anticipate a new birth, there are things that cannot wait. 

Therefore, we ask the question, What Can’t Wait? What demands our immediate attention? What requires our work and preparation? What is it that God can’t wait for? Is it our praise, reconciliation, and proclamation? Is it the end of suffering, isolation, and fear? This Advent, we invite you to join us in imagining, prioritizing, and preparing.
